Glass indulges in Hollywood glamour at Hotel Bel-Air

DESIGNED to delight, Hotel Bel-Air is Hollywood glamour with more than a touch of graceful serenity. Found among the famous canyon hills, the 12-acre paradise welcomes guests with lush gardens and swans from its very own Swan Lake.

Here, old style charm blends with contemporary style to create a theme of low-key elegance and warm familiarity. Even reaching my room first time is a delight as I’m led to it along pathways through the hotel’s famous gardens.

The property’s 58 rooms and 45 suites commemorate the allure of Hollywood past and present. Suites open directly onto gardens. Rooms boast pleasing subtle tones and custom limestone floors, while exquisite Egyptian cotton linen invites you into the comfy bed for a restful night’s sleep.

_Bar

Resident chefs bring modern Californian cuisine with a Mediterranean influence to The Restaurant at Hotel Bel-Air, where guests dine in a relaxed yet sophisticated setting. And then, as the sun sets, the Bar & Lounge becomes the place to be. Charming everyone who visits, the famously lively destination is accompanied by an incredible fireplace, sleek grand piano and eye-catching art lining the walls – the perfect spot to indulge in the extensive cocktail menu.

_{The Living Room}

If you’re looking for a sweet bite, one of Hotel Bel Air’s newest culinary offerings, The Patisserie at Hotel Bel-Air, offers an expansive menu of freshly baked goods. At the other outlet, The Living Room, guests can experience afternoon and evening menus alongside an inspired mixology programme.

When it comes to relaxation, Hotel Bel-Air doesn’t hold back. For pampering, The Spa at Hotel Bel-Air offers an experience designed for peace of mind and deep relaxation. It is a restorative oasis, featuring seven treatment rooms, a relaxation lounge and a nail suite with two manicure and three pedicure stations. I can now relax knowing I will leave feeling reborn and ready to take on anything that awaits.
